Teri Hatcher to guest on "Smallville"

I'm not sure if I should file this news under "thud moment" or "OMG moment" or both! Teri Hatcher, best Lois Lane EVER (in my humble opinion), will be guest starring on "Smallville" in its final season as none other than Lois Lane's mom, Entertainment Weekly reported today.

Holy superhero crossovers, Batman! This is the best "Smallville" news yet. I must admit "Lois and Clark: The Real Adventures of Superman" was the show that made me a diehard Supes fan for life, and did I mention how awesome Hatcher was as Lois Lane? Erica Durance is my second favorite Lois Lane ever, and it will be epic to see Durance and Hatcher share the screen, well, sort of, in this iconic role switch-up. Last season when they got Dean Cain to guest star, I remember thinking, "How epic would it be if they could get Teri Hatcher too, but, nah, she's on 'Desperate Housewives' now and probably would never do it.'" So glad to be proven wrong! Season 10 of "Smallville" really is turning out to be the best season, and it hasn't even aired yet! To be such a small-budget show, "Smallville"'s casting is top notch. It's had Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Dean Cain, Helen Slater and now Teri Hatcher. Awesome!

To keep the publicity machine for the show in full swing, its publicity-shy star Tom Welling gave a good interview about the final season to The L.A. Times today:

Tom Welling’s first memory on the set of “Smallville” nine years ago was a chance meeting with a young production assistant named Chris Petry. The actor waved at Petry, who returned the greeting. Almost a decade later, Petry is all grown up and now serves as one of the show’s producers and occasionally directs. As for Welling, well, he is still almost Superman.

“The two of us were just sitting around the other day and going ‘Eh, not too bad. Not too bad for nine years. [We've] done all right,” said Welling.
